NSF is the Godfather
• Formation of APAN started at APEC Symposium
in Tsukuba, Japan on Mar. 28, 1996.
• Dr. Steve Goldstein@NSF showed his plan to
renew the program on the international Internet
Services.
• Professor Kilnam Chon@KAIST started to take
the lead for the application to the new program.
• Professor Michael McRobbie@ANU made the
proposal on APAN at APEC APII Testbed Forum
in Seoul on June 18, 2002.

Feb. 21, 2002
Features of APAN
• Governance by Researchers
• Funded by governments
• NGO organization for multiple networks
and middleware/application researchers
• Coordination or match-making is an
important role.

Features of Asia
• Huge population & market
• Original culture (library, religions, history,
etc.)
• Intensive education for children
• Varied GDP/GNP countries
• Regional developments might pollute the
globe.
7
Feb. 21, 2002
Internet was born in USA, but ..
• APAN would like to contribute to the globe
through Asia-Pacific based technologies.
• What can we contribute to the globe?
– Features of Asia give us the hints:
•

Diffserv over JP-KR link
• The 8Mbps link is fully utilized.
• Bandwidth reservations
– 10% for QGPOP-CNU video conferencing
• Assigned to high priority queue (Cisco low latency queuing)
– 80% for the link owner’s traffic (CRL)
– 5% for NOC traffic
– 5% for other traffic
• can be up to 100% if no other traffic exists
• NREN-APAN link over TransPAC will adopt
Diffserv soon.

• Katsushi Kobayashi (ikob@koganei.wide.ad.jp)
– ITRC measurement WG
– http://www.itrc.net
• PoS Interface and PC based hardware
• None-interruption approach for capturing packets
• Application will access the reception buffer directly.
• Timestamp will be added at the interface with using GPS.
• Application will capture all packets without filtering.
• oc48c is ready.
• This boxes will be set at TransPAC NOCs.
– Discussion will soon start.

Laser Micro Dissection Method to cut out
only cancer cells under microscope
Most of the cancer tissues contain normal cells
Getting only cancer cells are required for Cancer
Genome Research
Pathological decision is required
for distinguishing cancer cells
Little number of Pathologist are
available in Japan.
High definition image transfer
and remote robotics are required
for remote control by pathologists.
